Jeffrey Azoff is planning to leave CAA and is taking several high profile clients with him. Billboard first reported the exit, which Amplify has confirmed with sources familiar with the situation.

CAA’s music boss Rob Light announced this morning that the 30-year-old is leaving CAA after three-and-a-half years at the firm. Next week Azoff will announce the formation of a new company called Full Stop Management, working alongside former CAA agent Tommy Bruce. Together the pair will represent Meghan Trainor, Lukas Graham and Harry Styles from One Direction. Last month, Styles dropped longtime managers Richard Griffiths and Harry McGee with Modest Management.

“You can’t be a FOB fan if you only like/don’t like Patrick/only like/don’t like SRAR” Maybe I don’t agree with Patrick’s views. Maybe SRAR isn’t my type of music. Maybe some people like Soul Punk more than FOB in general. Maybe some people love SRAR’s style. All of that is completely okay.

“You were never a real MCR fan if you don’t listen to their solo stuff now” Maybe their solo stuff is completely different than MCR. Just because I don’t like their solo stuff and prefer MCR does not mean I don’t support the former band members. Some people will disagree or agree with me and that’s okay.

You know what’s not okay?

Being rude to members of the bandom that are new. Being rude to members of the bandom that don’t agree with you. Hating on TØP fans that prefer Blurryface over Vessel. Hating on FOB fans who like the lyrics more than the singing. Hating in general.

I’m like

“Bitch, first øff its twenty øne piløts, nøt the number, write that shit øut. Secønd, have yøu listened tø Fake Fan by Every Twenty Øne Piløts Fan?”

And they’re like

“Of course, that song is my jam!”

Then there’s me with a

*facepalm*

where does all this hate come from? eight months ago you were praising her for being everything the music industry is adverse to: a biracial, mentally ill, bisexual woman who wrote her own songs and wasn’t afraid to speak her mind. and now, the first reply to her tweets is usually someone suggesting she kill herself.

there was some unanimous decision out there one day that we were going to start bashing her, looking for reasons to drag her. and you know what? you’re only proving that there is this hatred of pocs, mentally ill people, lgbtqia people, and women, alive and well in our society today.

what the fuck did she do to deserve this treatment?

“oh, but her music sucks!” there’s a really simple solution. don’t listen to it.

“oh, but she kissed a minor!” she kissed a fan. onstage. she didn’t have some intimate moment with this fan, and she made sure she had the fan’s consent via a head nod. i’m not saying that that’s the best thing she’s ever done! but she’s a fucking human being. and you would let your male faves get away with this in a heartbeat.

“oh, but she used a transphobic slur!” yes. before she hit puberty. when else has she shown anything but acceptance towards trans people?

“oh, but she lies about everything!” what, exactly, does she lie about. i’m so fucking curious. please tell me. if you’re saying that she lied about being homeless? nope. i have it from a reliable source that for a time, she was, indeed, unsure of where she’d sleep each night.

“oh, but she was a bitch in high school!” how do you know? from anonymous asks on a hate blog that could’ve been sent by anyone? and honestly, what does it matter?

“oh, but she’s so fake!” about what. she is the realest. she confronts the people who talk shit about her online. how much realer do you get. even i’m not that real.

and even if all these “complaints” of yours were valid, why the hell would that give you the right to tell her to kill herself or that you hate her en masse?
